    Hi, I have lots of categories on my website 1002.
    Are you allowed to have unlimited categories ?

    For some reason when I try and make a new category for my archive
    the add category button isn’t there.

    Is there a category allowance ?

    Thanks !

    Normally I don’t think so. Sure, there is a limit defined by the database backend’s datatype but it should be way beyond 1002 ?? Probably a stupid idea, but have you perhaps installed any plugins after creating the previous categories? ??

    thanks ! Havn’t installed any plugins either.
    I wonder what the problem is ! ?

    Try this to “troubleshoot”: back up your database. Then delete a category with not too much in it. Now see if you can add a new category. (The posts in the category won’t be deleted – they’ll just be moved to your default category, and you can fairly easily reset the situation once your category addition problem is handled.)

    If so, then there’s some “limit” problem perhaps, maybe your host has a database table size limit or something. If not, then there’s some other problem.
